The following abstracts were submitted by undergraduate students to the 3^rd URNCST Journal Case Competition held during April 2019. To learn more about this abstract competition and submit your own, please visit: https://urncst.com/index.php/competition/about. This case competition’s topic was on sex-based comparisons research. The emergence of sex-based research has become more prominent within the last decade. Sex is often defined as the biological or genetic makeup of the body. The impact of sex-based differences has been observed in diverse fields, ranging from cardiovascular health, to addictions and mental wellness, to drug efficacy and its cellular implications. As a result, we welcomed abstract submissions from any science or technology discipline exploring sex-based comparisons in their research field.
